what do you think about my daughter drinking my breast milk after she is 3 but from a cup instead of the breas?

a lot of people are skeptical about mothers breastfeeding children after 3 saying all sorts from it causing psychological problems etc. but what do people think if i expressed the milk and my daughter drank it from a cup instead. that way she can continue to enjoy my breast milk for as long as she wants without being bullied etc. at school. infact she would not even have to know she was still drinking breast milk.
I just want to mention to all those who are telling me to just give my daughter cows milk we do not drink cows milk in out home. cows milk is to nurture cows and human milk is to nurture humans. she will not ever have cows milk until she is old enough to make her own decision instead she will be fed foods other than cows milk which are also abundant with calcium and so i feel that while she is young and fussy my breast will be her main source of calcium. she eats a lot of brocoli and other foods that we eat to keep up her calcium but she cannot eat as much.
i would also like to add that my daughter is only 1 at the moment i am planning for the future she is not attached to the breast and often takes a bottle. she self soothes ans no longer needs me to go to sleep and she has never even been introduced to a pacifier. and the reason for my question is because i need to know if this is something i should allow poeple to know about or if i should keep it behind closed doors so thankyou for your answers. i now know not to let poeple know
